Review of King Kong (2005) by Kyle M — 24 Nov 2014
After directing The Lord of the Rings trilogy, director Peter Jackson went on to direct a fresh remake of the 1933 classic "King Kong" - his favorite movie he'd pointed out before. A director in that position doing such project would use his knowledge of the original to his own vision with a required faithfulness. Well it seems Jackson did that with his own kind of visually epical scale, and the result is that his usual visual spectacle made this monster adventure flick work with some added pathos (probably a usual element that'd appeared in monster flicks) that the original lacked and good performances from the cast seemingly at their best probably.
It may not reach the same level of The Lord of the Rings, but Peter Jackson's "King Kong" is the mighty of the incarnations of the giant ape, especially improving the style of the original that started it all. (B+).
